Unless I'm mistaken Richard, wasn't that the 107% rule? Not 110%...

Either which way I agree with Webbers statements too, it goes for most sportsmen in general...

1989 grand final, when Dipper and Dermy both played on with a punctured lung and bruised liver respectively, both with internal bleeding and both winding up in hospital post game.... Now look at the pansyfl.... All full of do-gooders and soft-cocks...Everyone may as well give up and play soccer and badminton.. Motorsport has definitely gone the same way..

I believe it may have been changed from 107% to 110% before they finally got rid of it. I guess the FIA decided they'd rather have a full grid than a field of decent cars, much like this year.

lulz - sneaky little kents. Might make 10km/h more on the straights.

Goooo Team!

Payback for '09 diffuser. Will be funny if the other teams don't have the chassis design to accomodate it :P

More interested then ever about some of the inner team battles.

My thoughts Alonso to pip Massa. Lewis to be comfortable against Button.... Just how good is Rosberg and hwo much did the surgery and injury affect Webber last year? COME ON WEBZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 hours to go to P1 2010! :cheers:

I am working in Singapore at the moment and our office is just down the road from a Ferrari dealership. Well about 3 hours ago ther ewas about 15-20 cars from Californias, F430 and a few Scuds and 599s all driving down the road in formation. I am wandering if its a group hand feed / admiration thing coinciding with the kick off for F1 2010

Webz has broken the car ... again. I want to know what the full story was with Geoff Willis (was former technical director at RBR) leaving mid last year. The car was unreliable befor ehe joined, and sicne leaving the car has gone back to its unreliable 2007 ways...just like Jag used to be and often Newey cars are ??? :blush:

FP session 2 Commentary

14:15

Hamilton reports that his rear tyres are destroyed after just four laps.

14:16

That does not bode well, because he is on the hard tyres.

14:16

The softs are even more fragile.

14:16

What's more he only has two sets of each compound to use during practice.

14:17

Tyre wear on heavy fuel loads is a serious concern in the hot weather in Bahrain this weekend. What we don't know about Hamilton's destroyed tyres is how many laps he had already put on them in the first session.

I agree we don't have much of an idea as to how many laps those tires MAY have done prior to FP2, but either way... LOL, given any hot GP's this year, and I think anyone could safely discount Louise... Unless he tweaks and adjusts his aggressive driving style this side of soon...

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
